Bus driver shortage impacting trips

The bus industry is currently experiencing a bus driver shortage and high degree of absenteeism which is impacting the ability to maintain services.  Busways is working hard to preserve service coverage across the bus network and minimise gaps, however, some services are having unexpected changes to trips that can impact your journey, and morning-of cancellations on some services should still be expected by customers.  

Customers are advised to check trip apps or transportnsw.info daily for up-to-date information, as timetables at bus stops are not being updated.

We regret the impact on customers and apologise for this unavoidable situation which is likely to continue until the driver shortfalls ease.

Busways is currently recruiting for over 100 drivers in Willoughby and Ryde Depots.  If you are interested in becoming a bus driver or know someone who is, please visit careers.busways.com.au for details.

It’s time to talk about men’s health

Mos on our buses remind us to talk about men's health this Movember. Every moustache you see helps raise awareness of men’s health, particularly mental health.  

Men die earlier than women for reasons that are largely preventable and 75% of people who suicide each year are male. The Movember movement seeks to help men live happier, healthier, and longer lives.  

At Busways we marked this month to help encourage men to speak up and have a chat with your fellow men and ask how they’re really feeling.  

It’s time to enjoy the fun and magic of Christmas as you travel!

At Busways we love connecting with the community and one of our favourite activities is our annual Christmas bus fundraiser. In the festive spirit, our depot teams decorate some buses with all things Christmas for you to enjoy on your travels.
